The family said their son had an imaginary friend who lived under the trailer and would come up to see him. The cops found the body of the dead boy just under his room.

Suddenly his ball sliced and landed in a shallow pond. As he was attempting to retrieve the ball he discovered a frog that, to his great surprise, started to speak! "Kiss me, and I will change into a beautiful princess, and I will be yours for a week." He picked up the frog and placed it in his pocket. As he continued to play golf, the frog repeated its message. "Kiss me, and I will change into a beautiful princess, and I will be yours for a whole month!" The man continued to play his golf game and once again the frog spoke out. "Kiss me, and I will change into a beautiful princess, and I will be yours for a whole year!" Finally, the old man turned to the frog and exclaimed, "At my age, I’d rather have a talking frog!"

I asked him what he meant and he said: “That boy on TV looks like George”. I asked him who George was and he replied: “He lives above my bed every night when the lights are off and talks to me but I can’t hear him”. I asked him to draw me a picture. He drew a small boy with black holes for eyes and no teeth who was bleeding from his neck. “That’s George!” he said.

An old man with a young boy aged around 15 years came running to catch the train. They entered the train and the train started to move. They had their seats just adjacent to the friends' group. The young boy was so surprised to see everything. He acclaimed at his father, 'Dad, the train is moving and the things are moving backward.' His father smiled and nodded his head. As the train started moving fast, the young boy again screamed, 'Dad the trees are green in color and run backward very fast.' His father said, 'Yes dear' and smiled. Just like a kid, he was watching everything with great enthusiasm and happiness loaded with tons of surprises. A fruit seller passed selling apples an...

He was given absolute power over the people of ancient Rome on two occasions and voluntarily gave it up each time. What made Cincinnatus famous in his time - and a legend in ours - is the fact that he was an honorable man. The Roman custom in times of strife was for the Senate to appoint a single man as the dictator. The dictator would have absolute authority over the people and army of Rome. Cincinnatus was named dictator when the Romans were losing a war against two of their neighbors. Cincinnatus successfully led the Roman army to a swift victory. After the battle was won Cincinnatus was given a parade - called a triumph - through the st...

However, upon cutting the goose open, they were shocked to find that its innards were like that of any other goose!

Belief  A young man who had been raised as an atheist was training to be an Olympic diver . The only religious influence in his life came from his outspoken Christian friend . The young diver never really paid much attention to his friend's sermons, but he heard them often. One night the diver went to the indoor pool at the college he attended.The lights were all off, but as the pool had big skylights and the moon was bright , there was plenty of light to practice by. The young man climbed up to the highest diving board and as he turned his back to the pool on the edge of the board and extended his arms out , he saw his shadow on the wall . The shadow of his body was in the shape of a cross. Instead of diving, he knelt down and asked God to come into his life . As the young man stood, a maintenance man walked in and turned the lights on . The pool had been drained ...

The barn door opened and out ran the biggest , meanest-looking bull he had ever seen .

Unbelievable. He had never seen anything so big and fierce in his life . It stood pawing the ground, grunting and....Whatever the next bull was like, it had to be a better choice th...

Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers. When he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen! He went back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head without even looking and fired a shot into the ceiling. "Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse?" he yelled with surprising forcefulness. No one answered. - "Alright, I’m gonna have another beer, and if my horse ain’t back outside by the time I finish, I’m gonna do what I have done in Texas, And I don’t like to have to do what I have done in Texas!“. Some of the locals shifted restlessly. The man, true to his word, had another beer, walked outside, and his horse had been returned to the post. He saddled up and started to ride out of town. The bartender wan...

Four of them were sitting together, priced at $50 each. Then there was one sitting alone in a corner. The little boy asked if that was from the same litter if it was for sale, and why it was sitting alone. The store owner replied that it was from the same litter, but it was a deformed one, and not for sale. The little boy asked what the deformity was. The store owner replied that the puppy was born without a hip socket and had a leg missing. The little boy asked, "What will you do with this one?" The reply was it would be put to sleep. The little boy asked if he could play with that puppy. The store owner said, "Sure." The little boy picked the puppy up and the puppy licked him on the ear.

He saw a crow sitting in a tree. It had a piece of cheese in its beak. He longed to eat it himself. So he sat down under the tree and said, “What a pretty bird you are! Your voice must also be very sweet. Dosing me a song, please.” The crow was greatly pleased to hear its praise. It began to caw with endless pride. But the moment it did so, the piece of cheese fell down. The cunning fox picked it up and ran away saying, “Thank you, Mr. Crow. The cheese is very delicious indeed. But your voice is not so sweet, as I thought it to be!”

The Full Warren Once, a rabbit built a fantastic warren, where he lived very happily. He had designed it so well that, when a great rainstorm arrived - which flooded nearly the whole wood, and the homes of many animals - his remained untouched. Soon, one after another, the homeless animals came to his door, asking if they could spend that winter with him, in his warren. He invited each visitor in, and gradually the warren filled up until there was no room left. This discomfort didn’t bother the rabbit, because he felt he was being generous.. One day in spring, when all the animals had returned to their old homes, the rabbit was hopping along so absent-mindedly that he didn’t r...

At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures .  When the child saw his father with painful eyes he asked, 'Daddy when will my fingers grow back?' The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.

We are allowed to make mistakes ,  because we human beings are not perfect. But the actions we take while in a rage will haun...

Kindness A few years ago at the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestants , all physically or mentally disabled, assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash. At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with a relish to run the race to the finish and win. All that is , except one boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times and began to cry The other eight heard the boy. They slowed down and looked back . They all turned around and went back. Every one of them. One girl with Down’s syndrome bent down and kissed him and said,” This will make it better.” All nine linked arms and walked across the finish line together. Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went on for several minutes . People who were there are still telling the story .  Why ? Because deep down we know one thing. What matters most in this l...
